Obviously no-one wants to listen to someone whinging all the time, but sometimes people need to discuss things/vent/get another person's perspective/uncover bad behaviour. I may be wrong, but I think you're advocating denial. Sometimes, people need to be heard! Why are you worried about someone else's behaviour influencing you? Once you have a level of awareness/maturity, you can be around others without becoming like them, surely? Finally, I wonder where all these extremely upbeat, happy, uncomplaining people are? I know people from all walks of life and they have good sides and not so good sides. It all sounds a bit unrealistic. Sorry, not keen on this post!

I was researching a metaphor for explaining how negative people pull us down (for a speech). Thanks for the idea that negative people are like scorpions that poison you with their ideas.

Negative talk can really influence your actions and your subconscious. I love the article. I am an avid follower of “The Secret” and this post is very much inline with it.

I digg and find the truth myself prior to believing what other people had to say. If they say something negative about someone or something, I just take it. I am not taking into consideration the people I keep company with but I only select few persons whom I will give my trust and keep secrets with.

People should always remember that the words you say have the power to break. Someday they will come back to haunt you. So, have the habit of using words that bless.
